Keep your staff informed without flooding your Discord.
NewPlayerWelcome is a smart, lightweight plugin that sends a welcome message to RCON and Discord only once when a new player joins your Rust server. It avoids clutter, respects returning players, and works with or without the popular ConnectionDB plugin.
Perfect for PvP/PvE, modded, community, or whitelisted servers that want to track fresh joins without daily Discord spam.
First-Time Detection Only — Tracks SteamIDs and avoids re-welcoming
ConnectionDB or Standalone Support — Toggle in config
Custom Discord Message — Use placeholders like (SERVERNAME) and (PLAYERNAME)
Webhook Support — Sends clean messages to your Discord
Stores Player Data — Saves SteamIDs to avoid duplicate welcomes
Test Command Included — Use /testwelcome to simulate a new join
Configurable — Easily toggle modes or update webhook/messages
